Question

To prepare for a bake-off, Fatima used 0.56 kilogram of flour each day for 2 weeks. If she continues using flour at the same rate, how many more weeks can she bake with her remaining 4.2 kilograms of flour?

Answer 1

Fatima uses 0.56 kilograms of flour daily for 2 weeks, totaling 3.92 kilograms weekly. With 4.2 kilograms left, she can continue baking for the number of weeks found by dividing 4.2 kg by 3.92 kg per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many more weeks Fatima can bake with her remaining 4.2 kilograms of flour, given that she used 0.56 kilogram of flour each day for 2 weeks, we first need to determine the total amount of flour used in a week. Since there are 7 days in a week, we multiply 0.56 kilograms by 7 days to get the weekly usage, which is 3.92 kilograms. Next, to find out how many weeks she can continue to bake with the remaining flour, we divide 4.2 kilograms by the weekly flour usage of 3.92 kilograms.

Calculating:

1. Weekly flour usage: 0.56 kg/day × 7 days/week = 3.92 kg/week
2. Number of additional weeks Fatima can bake: 4.2 kg ÷ 3.92 kg/week

The result will give us the number of additional weeks she can continue to bake with the remaining flour.
